Well I have officially tried to start this section 30 different ways, so I guess I will just roll with it. I really love my friends and my family. They may be absolutely INSANE at times, but I wouldn't be who I am today without each and every one of them... and believe me... there are alot of them. They are a great group, extremely loving and supportive, and extremely prominent in my life. I love spending time on the weekends with them and some wonderful friends that I known for years.

fair warning... My laugh can get a little loud and out of control. I'm looking for a guy who will laugh with me, and who isn't afraid to laugh at me. Believe me, for a very bright person, I sometimes do/say some really stupid things. I am kind of sarcastic and like to goof around. A man needs to be witty and willing to experience new things... because new things are exciting and the outcome is unpredictable, and life is boring if you just stick to the same things over and over.

I love hitting up bar trivia or trying new recipes in my free time. I make a mean Irish car bomb cupcake, and an even meaner bread pudding! I also legitimately like watching sports. I'm the girlie girl, tough enough to hang out with the guys, that you can take home to mom!

Fitness has become a major focus for me recently! I try and make it to the gym a couple times a week, and eat relatively healthy... And avoid booze during the week. But I recently completed the tough mudder, and it made me realize if we had a zombie apocalypse tomorrow... I'd be a goner. So I'm working on improving my strength, endurance, and speed... So that next years tough mudder won't kick my ass so bad!

Most importantly, I am looking for a guy who respects me. Meaning, when we make plans, keep them; and when you say something, mean it!

NOTE: if you aren't smiling in any of your photos, and if ALL of your pictures are "artistic selfies"... This is probably not gonna work. Just saying!

First Date

I'm pretty easygoing, just about anything works. I enjoy a first date that involves good conversation and perhaps even a wicked game of shuffleboard (don't worry, I won't beat you too bad). Just something fun, no pressure! Some of the best first dates are loosely laid plans played by ear!
